Bangkok and Phuket. They were the two main tourist destinations of my recent journey to Thailand. During that time, my friend and travel companion Mark Sandler took a series of videos - and has just compiled them into a fantastic YouTube video. It's pretty good at giving you a "feel" for the whole place. And note, whenever you see a straw hat or a yellow shirt - it's probably me.
Venice doesn’t lose its charm and proves itself again to be the city of lovers par excellence. Yes, because after the great success of last year, which gathered in a square 70,000 people under a sky of sparkling hearts, the New Year’s Eve entirely dedicated to love comes back with Love 2009!

Postcard of Dancing Pavillion Robison Park, Fort Wayne, Ind.Originally uploaded by kristinafh I started collecting postcards of Fort Wayne about 4-5 years ago. I don't know what prompted me to start however, it has turned into a full-blown obsession of mine.A couple of Christmas's ago, I gave my aunts, grandmother, and mom, their own, framed set of Fort Wayne postcards. They were all pleasantly surprised as each of their sets contained very specific postcards of places that they had mentioned to me before - in fact - many years before. In some cases, the postcards were of buildings and recreational spots that no longer existed.If you ever want to get a good story out of your relatives - bring up a place that no longer exists! That's a history lesson that you can't get from a book.Such was

If there is any similarity with opening a new business and campaigning for it, it is about the timing. The opening of your biz needs to be timely. And if you want to promote that business using postcard mailing, you also have to schedule it wisely. Some people in the business believe in luck. They will ask for a psychic’s guidance or go to a feng shui expert. They are willing to take all those hassles just to predict the proper time in which they should open up their business. Well, luck is good. Psychic’s predictions sometimes do come true. And feng shui offers some enlightenment to those who need it. But when talking about timing, the calendar will be your best bud. Business Location This is vital in this case. You have to know what the weather will be in the coming days and months.

From In our age of privacy the postcard is an endangered, subversive species : Suggesting that postcards are, in fact, sufficiently alive to be dangerous would be more effective. Floating a rumour that the government wanted to ban them because, say, terrorists were using them in preference to email or mobiles, and low standards in schools meant MI5 couldn't read their handwriting - that would confer upon the postcard the aura of subversion its salvation requires. It would be wrong to be nostalgic about a golden age of postcards to the extent of scorning their usurpers, the email and the text message. In this country it is the continuously murmuring prose haiku dialogue of the SMS, rather than the email, which has supplanted the ink and paper billets-doux of lovers from the days
Postcards are a very cost-effective and efficient way to market your business. Combine that with their ability to generate a high response rate, and you have a tremendously powerful marketing tool. However, it’s really important to avoid some of the most common mistakes people make when implementing their postcard marketing campaign. Here’s a list of the top six mistakes you should avoid in order to have a successful campaign. 1. Not Targeting the Best ProspectsHow much of a response would the Omaha Steaks company receive if they sent marketing postcards to a subscriber list of Vegetarian Cooking? Chances are, the results would be poor. Having the best possible mailing list is one of the most important factors of a successful postcard marketing campaign. In-house lists are b

If the weather forecast is hot and sunny, hire a car for the 40 km (25 mile) ride to Boulder's Beach, stopping along the way to watch the whales cavort in False Bay, before arriving at your destination and mingling with penguins. Or stay in the city centre and soldier on towards the Castle of Good Hope (Buitenkant and Strand streets), a pentagonal fortification built by the Dutch between 1666-1679 and South Africa's oldest surviving building. Try to catch a ghostly glimpse of Anne Barnard, the castle's former first lady whose apparition is said to haunt certain sections of the ramparts, with daily guided tours offered to the dungeons and torture rooms.

Gruyeres is a small mountain village in the Gruyere region of Switzerland. It is famous for cheese and the Gruyeres sour cream. The cheese is great indeed!

Postcards have been around as early as the 1800s. It is perhaps the cheapest form of communication between countries. From experience, it is faster too! Postcards tend to arrive faster than regular mail sent to the same international destination when mailed at the same time. To this day, it is still widely popular because it is convenient- easily available in stores. One isn't obliged to write a long letter either given that the regular size postcard only measures 3in x 5in. After writing a quick note, placing a stamp on it, you're done!The Postcard Collector project is an idea I've had for quite some time. I just wasn't sure how I will go about it until I came across a website where people from all around the world exchange postcards for free by signing up. By means of the postcard, one would write the other, and the person writes back! Some have created blogs showing all the postcards they have received from strangers who eventually become their friends. It's amazing how many n
